MOTION CARRIED, WITH BAUCH VOTING NO The Committee of the Whole Meeting was called back to order by Chairman Hill, with Council Members present as previously listed. Alan Doerschel, Finance Director. said the proposed ordinance imposes a sales or use tax to be collected from those persons from whom the state sales or use tax is collected. Sales tax local option will be effective October 1, 1982. The City has to consider funding for the bridges and there is the 6 -year street plan. State and federal money may never come in for this project. The City has received notice the tax base is going to be reduced in 1983 so this money will be needed. By imposing the tax, the City would be assured of not having to assess other taxes. Councilman Van Dusen suggested the Council consider the proposed ordinance he has prepared. In Section 10 it sets forth an effective date as of when the County effects the tax. A letter has been received from the Chamber of Commerce stating they do not favor added taxation, but understand the new sales tax will be implemented and used by others if Tukwila does not impose the tax. They give their support to the added tax if the use of the revenue be limited to capital improvements (mostly roads); that existing capital improvements within the existing general funds not be eliminated and funded with the next tax, creating money for noncapital improvements within the existing general fund. They opposed the funds being used for general budgetary purposes. Mr. Doerschel said if the ordinance is passed effective October 1, 1982 the revenue will be received in December.

Council President Bohrer stated the City of Tukwila accepted the annexation, it was approved by the County Review Board and was ready for ballot when a suit was filed. The suit was dismissed. A new concern of the annexation may be the replacement of the bridge. If the annexation passes all of the bridge will lie in Tukwila. This may affect the agreement that has been made with the County regarding their payment on the replacement and maintenancE of the bridge. If the annexation does not pass there would be no change. Larry Hard, City Attorney, agreed there may be a problem in requiring King County to maintain the bridge and replace it if it falls down again. He said he would research the matter.
